The beautiful romantic duet of Luciano Pavarotti and Mirella Freni singing "O Soave Fanciulla" taken from "La bohème," one of the most famous operas ever written, following the unforgettable story of two young, bohemian lovers in Paris.

Norman Jewison’s 1987 Romantic Comedy Moonstruck is filled with La bohème references. Following an Italian-American family, it makes perfect sense for the film to reference one of the best-known Italian operas in the repertoire.

The film also regularly uses music from the score. Notably in the scene where Ronny and Loretta begin their affair Puccini’s ‘O Soave Fanciulla’ (‘Oh you vision of beauty’) can be heard. In the opera, this duet between Rodolfo and Mimì is sung as they both realise they are falling in love with each other.
